Both the M 1000 RR and S 1000 R see some serious increase in power output.
BMW Motorrad has revealed comprehensive updates across its premium performance motorcycle range, including the M 1000 RR, S 1000 RR superbikes, and their naked counterparts, the M 1000 R and S 1000 R. Besides the fact, that the entire lineup now meets Euro 5+ standards and features an M short-stroke throttle with reduced rotation angle – each bike has further received its own set of dedicated factory tunings and settings. Here’s a rundown of them below:
Starting with the range-topping M 1000 RR with its substantial engine modifications for 2025. The 999 cc inline-four engine now boasts a redesigned cylinder head, new port design, and full-shaft titanium valves, resulting in a power increase to 215 bhp - up by 6 bhp from its predecessor. There’s a new titanium exhaust system and the redesigned carbon-fibre fairing at the front, which BMW is calling M Winglets 3.0, are more functional than before, for increased downforce.
Control systems see significant advancement with a new Slide Control function integrated into the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and the introduction of Brake Slide Assist in the Race ABS Pro system. The model continues to be available in two variants: the base model in Lightwhite uni and the M Competition in Blackstorm metallic.
The S 1000 RR focuses on track-oriented improvements, featuring new winglets, integrated brake ducts, and redesigned fairing panels. Pro riding modes now come standard, including Race Pro modes with five-level adjustable ABS. The 999cc engine delivers 206 bhp and 113 Nm torque. Three colour options are available: Blackstorm metallic (base), Bluestone metallic (Sport), and Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport (M package).
The BMW M 1000 R hyper naked aka the M R, showcases a new dual-flow headlight design and distinctive M branding. Available in Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport or White Aluminium metallic matt, it maintains the same power output as the BMW S 1000 RR at 206 bhp. The S 1000 R gets a power boost to 168 bhp (up to 5 bhp) and features a shorter final drive ratio. Standard equipment now includes Shift Assistant Pro, revised traction control, and a USB-C port. It's offered in Blackstorm metallic, Bluefire/Mugiallo Yellow, or Lightwhite uni/M Motorsport colours.
Pricing for BMW’ new performance motorcycle range has not been revealed as of yet. In India, the BMW S 1000 RR is priced from ₹20 lakh onwards and can go up to ₹25 lakh with the M Sport package. The S 1000 R starts from ₹19 lakh and go up to ₹23.30 lakh with the Pro M Sport package (all prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).
The bigger more powerful M bikes, the M 1000 RR is priced at ₹49 lakh in Standard trim, and with the Competition package will set you back by ₹55 lakh. Subsequently, the M 1000 R is priced at ₹33 lakh in Standard trim, with the Competition pack it will set you back by ₹38 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Given the slew of updates the 2025 range sees, expect a hike from the above mentioned prices for the upcoming models in India.
